Well, now that I've elected to keep the 914 and try to make it more quiet, I need to decide what to do exhaust wise..
I currently have a Kerry Hunter header with a Flowmaster 40 series Delta flow behind it. It sounds absolutely awesome around town, and when you get on it, it screams. But.... The freeway drone is killing me. I drive 3 hours every weekend on the freeway, and I'm going deaf because of it. My first thought was to pick up a stock muffler and throw heat exchangers back on the car. But, I found a youtube video of a car with stock HE's and the OEM Banana muffler on it, and it sounded, well, like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Does anyone have any experience with quiet aftermarket mufflers? people on other forums seem to like the sound of Turbo mufflers, but I don't really know much about aftermarket muffler setups, other than that my 40 series is chambered, and way too loud on the freeway.. Any advice regarding muffler choice, ie. brand, type, etc. Would be much appreciated. Tanks, Ethan |

Swap out the delta 40 for a $40 turbo muffler and see if its good enough for you.
Personally I'd use a magnaflow, but thats just me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Your out the hole $60 with install and you have an exhaust that you can sell if you dont like.. Delta 40's are just about the loudest muffler out there. So ya... And they drone baaad |
